Nora Word of the Week - co'uuk

The Nora Word of the Week is Co'uuk which translates to the verb 'cook' in English. When Nora uses the word co'uuk she always makes the hand motion of using a spatulla in a frying pan - as if she was flipping a pancake. Nora likes to cook and do the dishes. She'll spend an inordinate amount of time cleaning the dishes in the sink - filling cups and transferring water from container to container. She pushes up a chair next to the sink to gain height and then digs in. Mom and Dad have high hopes that she might actually enjoy cooking AND then doing the dishes. Patrick
